Instructions for stitching the Kimono together

  • Lightly glue “Kimono_02” down on your backing fabric
  • Lightly glue “Kimono_01” beside “Kimono_02
  • Lightly glue “kimono_03 beside “Kimono_02”
  • Lightly glue “Kimono_05” under “Kimono_02”
  • Lightly glue “Kimono_04” under “Kimono_01”
  • Lightly glue “Kimono_06” under “Kimono_03”
  • Lightly glue “Kimono_08” under “Kimono_05”
  • Lightly glue “Kimono_07” beside “kimono_08”
  • Lightly glue”Kimono_09” beside “kimono_08”

Once you are happy with matching up all the designs to make up the Kimono, stitch using a zigzag stitch all the panels down onto the backing fabric.

If you are satisfied that all matches up correctly then satin stitch each panel onto the backing fabric.

 

 

 

Waters of Spring Box

I purchased this box and as the lid was very plain and thought the box would look good with a lovely design.
I glued wadding onto the lid then covered the wadding with the design and then glued down

I also added piping to cover the raw edges of the fabric on the lid.

I stitched “Waters of Spring_07_240x150 on a Japanese cotton fabric” for those who do not have the larger hoop you can stitch “Waters of Spring_08” as that size is for 5 x 7 inch or 180 x 130 mm hoop.
